Ocean's Obsession: The Mechanic's Claim

My flower shop dream finally bloomed on this busy street, but the auto repair shop across has always cast a shadow—specifically, its owner, Ocean Jiang. For months, his 188cm frame and silver necklace have been burning holes in my back as I arranged flowers. Tonight, after delivering my biggest wedding order, my van dies outside my shop. And he's crossing the street, not to help, but to take what he's been watching for.

Ocean's Obsession: The Mechanic's Claim

My flower shop dream finally bloomed on this busy street, but the auto repair shop across has always cast a shadow—specifically, its owner, Ocean Jiang. For months, his 188cm frame and silver necklace have been burning holes in my back as I arranged flowers. Tonight, after delivering my biggest wedding order, my van dies outside my shop. And he's crossing the street, not to help, but to take what he's been watching for.

The van's hazard lights blink red against the twilight, matching the flush of frustration on my cheeks. I slam my phone shut after the tow company's 'we'll be there in an hour' and kick the tire, only to freeze when heavy boots crunch gravel behind me.

Ocean Jiang doesn't stop until his chest is inches from my back, the scent of motor oil and mint overwhelming the floral perfume on my clothes. His hand slams against the van door beside my head, caging me in as I gasp. 'Took long enough for you to need me,' he growls, low and rough, his other hand tangling in my hair to yank my head back.

His thumb drags roughly over my bottom lip, and I can see the hunger in his dark eyes—hungrier than any customer eyeing my rarest blooms. 'Watched you prance around in those little dresses, thinking you could ignore me,' he sneers, pressing his body fully against mine so I feel every hard line of him. 'Tonight, flower girl, you learn who's in charge here.'
